"March Madness, here we come!"

After the game, the front page headline of the ConnectiUC media, the footage of Walker kissing the court, became the accompanying image of the news.

UConn fans were thrilled to be more confident than they had ever felt after winning the final championship game.

Walker, Lamb, Tang Tian, and Oriaki's core lineup, plus Napier, Smith, Outlander, Forsys, and Art Majuk are role players.

Such a lineup will definitely pay off in the tournament.

Just as crazy as UConn are fans of 31 other schools, with 32 champion teams already securing a place in the tournament.

Among them, there are super famous schools such as North Carolina, Duke, and Kentucky, as well as schools such as Belende and Richmond, Pennsylvania, which have reached the championship for the first time.

Miracles and unpopular places, bloody and exciting battlefields, the footsteps of Crazy March are quietly coming.

Shortly after the conclusion of the league's championship games, the NCAA selection committee televised the final results on March 11.

Thirty-six universities were selected as wildcard teams for the tournament after more than three months of scouting by the selection committee.

On the side of the Great East Conference, Georgetown University, which reached the finals, the University of Louisville, the upset Marquette University, and the unexpected selection of Providence College, a total of 4 colleges and universities were selected for the final tournament.

Compared with the past few years, when 8 colleges and universities were selected every year, only 5 schools were selected this year, which has dropped a lot.

In this way, the 68 teams of the tournament are finalized.

The 68 teams will be divided into four divisions: Eastern, Western, Southeastern, and Southwestern, with a total of 17 teams per season.

The NCAA Organizing Committee will consider the division according to the strength of the team, geography and other aspects.

At the same time as the division, the organizing committee will also rank the teams according to their strength and give them the prefix of the number of seeds.

The higher the seed, the weaker the opponents you will face in the following competitions, and the more likely you are to advance to the final 16.

Before the final results are announced, it will be a big ordeal for the players and fans of the major universities.

"The old man came to me earlier, and he said that we would probably be in the same area as North Carolina and Kansas." After the team's daily training was over, Walker pulled Tang Tian alone to chat.

Before the NCAA organizing committee division comes out, theoretically there will be no news leaked, but after all, these things are done by people, Cajon has been coaching in the NCAA for 40 years, and he has a wide range of contacts, so it is completely normal to get some news.

"Isn't that good?" Tang Tian said with a smile, the strongest school this year is Duke led by Owen, and it is already very good that he is not separated from Duke.

"Pretty good? This year, in addition to Duke, the strongest is North Carolina, and if Kansas is also there, we are likely to be the No. 3 or No. 4 seed, No. 3 is fine, if it is No. 4, we may meet North Carolina at 16 into 8. There was a wave of concern in Walker's words.

His concern is not unreasonable, in order to win the tournament, in addition to strength, luck is also quite important, as he said, if you avoid Duke and North Carolina before the final four, or talk about meeting them in the final, that is the most likely to win the championship.

Now in the same district as North Carolina, if the No. 3 seed can advance to the final round of 16, it will be in the district finals, that is, the 8-in-4 game will encounter North Carolina, and the guarantee is the top 8, on the contrary, if it is the No. 4 seed, then in the 16-8 game, it will encounter North Carolina, and it may not even be able to enter the top 8.

He waited until his junior year, and winning the championship was naturally the biggest goal, but there were small goals under the big goals, and the results in the top 8 were obviously better than the top 16.

"God willing, hopefully we're the No. 3 seed and not the No. 4 seed." Walker thought and couldn't help but fold his hands in prayer.

"North Carolina is just like that this year, the core Harris Barnes is just a freshman, and if it really happens, I don't know who wins and who loses." Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.

"And we said the goal of the good was not the championship? 16 into 8 or 8 into 4, it's just a matter of playing early and playing late. He saw that Walker was unresponsive, and then said with a smile.

Walker put down his hand and turned his head to look at Tang Tian, feeling the confidence exuding from Tang Tian's smile, and he also laughed.

"You're right, call it North Kaduk, we're going to kill them all." Walker said with a smile.

He has played in tournaments for three consecutive years, and he subconsciously has a sense of awe for these super famous schools, but Tang Tian's words made him wake up at once, Kangda is strong this year, and he has the power to fight with these super famous schools.

"That's right! Okay, let's go eat, and we'll have to practice in the evening. Tang Tian patted Walker and stood up.

"Well, plus practice!" Walker also stood up, and unlike when he prayed earlier, his eyes were now full of war.

The major colleges and universities are preparing intensively, and shortly after the selection on Sunday, the groupings of each competition area have been released.

Several high-profile universities, Duke and North Carolina, the sworn enemies in North Carolina, are not in the same division because of the top three rankings.

Duke is in the Southwest Division, while North Carolina is in the Western Division, and both teams are the No. 1 seeds in the division.

In addition, Kentucky, which was strong in the past, was in the Eastern Conference this year because of its relatively weak strength, and it was only the No. 3 seed.

On the Eastern Conference side, the five teams entering the tournament are Providence College as the No. 17 seed in the Eastern Conference, Marquette University as the No. 11 seed in the Southeast Region, and the University of Louisville and Georgetown University in the Southwest, where they are the No. 8 and No. 3 seeds in the tournament.

It can be seen from the grouping that the organizing committee considers the region and strength, and tries to divide the teams of the same league into different regions as much as possible.

And Kangda, like the news Cajon got in advance, was assigned to the West Side with North Carolina!

And Walker's prayers didn't come to fruition, as they are the No. 4 seed in the West behind North Carolina, Kansas, and Texas!

This also means that if they finally advance to the Sweet 16, they will meet North Carolina in the 16-8 game!

This is obviously not good news for Connectn, but Walker is relieved to see the result.

If you can't avoid it, let's have a big fight!

And this is the NCAA Tournament, a game with frequent upsets, and you need to win two rounds to enter the round of 16.

With divisions and seeding in place, most of the tournament's first-round matchups have been decided, with UConn facing San Diego State University, the 13th seed in the West and led by Kawhi Leonard, in a 64-32 first-round match.
